What's the matter with your life

Is the poverty bringing you down?

Is the mailman jerking you 'round?

Did he put your million dollar check

In someone else's box?

Tell me, what's the matter with your world

Was it a boy when you wanted a girl? (boy when you wanted a girl)

Don't you know straight hair ain't got no curl (no curl)

Life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it

Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody can't be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it

Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?

Is there anybody living there? (anybody living there)

U can't get over, if you say you just don't care (don't care)

Show me a boy who stays in school

And I'll show you a boy aware!

Dig it

Pop life

Everybody needs a thrill

Pop life

We all got a space 2 fill

Pop life

Everybody can't be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop

Dig it

What you putting in your nose?

Is that where all your money goes (is that where your money goes)

The river of addiction flows

U think it's hot, but there won't be no water

When the fire blows

Dig it

Pop life

Everybody wants to be on top

But life it ain't real funky

Unless it's got that pop
